Bergit,

I don't have experience with infections and EPO, however I did see a hgb drop of 0.8 in a month on EPO. I was afraid that the EPO had stopped working and it was the beginning of a downward trend. However, the nurse at my local hospital told me it isn't that unusual to jump around like that. It has since gone back up to 11.4. I wouldn't worry too much unless it starts down and keeps going.
